Old Sir Shaw had a splitting headache and kept muttering as he left the box: "Michale, you're not young anymore, can you be a bit more serious? Why don't you learn from William?"
"Grandpa, he's just pretending, do you know what he's like in private? He even tricked his sister-in-law."
"At least he tricked a wife into marrying him, what about you?"
